Variations on a public-domain sample of 12 String Guitar Playing

WIREZZZZ

This was kind of accidental VCV patch in combination with a twelve string guitar piece on archive.org. I’d been experimenting with variations on the Quad Drum Destroyer, combined with the Confusing Simpler from NYSTHI, and this just hit a nerve. There is something about filtered delays that is addictive.   That and the original sample just… Continue reading Variations on a public-domain sample of 12 String Guitar Playing

November 2018 Mixtape

Derek Piotr and I were discussing mixtapes, so I decided to bodge one together.  This reflects what I’ve been listening to over the past couple of months more or less. This isn’t a DJ Mix; it’s like a good old “John Cusack in High Fidelity” mixtape.  I overlapped tracks without regard for beatmatching, and applied… Continue reading November 2018 Mixtape

Live @ I Hear IC 2015-02-20

Peformances were in the range of 10-20 minutes. Other performers on this night included Jazz singers, an improvisation from two Iranian musicians and a small ensemble improvising a new soundtrack for… Continue reading Live @ I Hear IC 2015-02-20

VOLCA JAMMIN

Sometimes you try something and it’s accidentally kinda compelling. The setup was Volca Beats Volca Keys Jupiter 6 Meeblip Anode Eventide UltraVerb on one send Audiodamage Dubstation16 on the second send. This is straight up tracky. It’s live mixing/tweaking. I actually added effects and the anode while recording. There’s minimal EQ-ing on the Volca Keys… Continue reading VOLCA JAMMIN

KRUI Noise Radio 2014-05-03

This is the last Noise Radio show of the Spring 2014 Semester. After a break, Vince Woolums will be back for the summer, and we aren’t sure what’s up for the fall. As Vince & Mike & I get busy, we’re having trouble finding other guests to help cover Saturday nights. It’s a tough time… Continue reading KRUI Noise Radio 2014-05-03

KRUI Noise Radio Show 2013-10-26

This week’s mix focuses mostly on 3 new releases: Autechre’s L-system, Estroe’s Comfort And Closure, and FourTet’s Beautiful Rewind. Autechre is perhaps the most resolutely inacessible group to ever acquire a dedicated fan base; their music challenges listeners to find a new way to hear music. My thought while I was playing on the radio… Continue reading KRUI Noise Radio Show 2013-10-26

KRUI Noise Radio 2013-07-13 DJ Mix

The 2 month gap since my last radio show means that a lot of new music has come out so this set has some ‘new’ stuff that’s a bit older than usual, and advance promos played after their release. No matter. The two releases that are of particular note to the summer’s mood are http://www.bordercommunity.com/?p=5240… Continue reading KRUI Noise Radio 2013-07-13 DJ Mix

2013-05-11 KRUI Noise Radio

The only thing the end of a college term means to me now is that the grad students in my office are scarce for a week or two, and we get a break on Noise Radio. But I tried to end the term on a high note, or at least a loud one. I’ve noticed… Continue reading 2013-05-11 KRUI Noise Radio

KRUI DJ Set – 2012/10/20

Rather than my usual grab bag of tracks, this mix focuses on just a few releases: Deepchord’s Sommer Mala’s Mala In Cuba Deadbeat’s Eight John Tejada’s The Predicting Machine Dom Dumoulin’s Gone EP DFRNT’s Fading … which takes things several different directions: John Tejada’s melodic Techno (which echoes/gives homage to The Black Dog’s late-90s sound),… Continue reading KRUI DJ Set – 2012/10/20

Chaircrusher Live @ Gabe’s October 11th 2012

I had a fine time, though it would have been great if more people showed up — I mean I’m used to playing to mostly empty rooms, but we had guys in from out of town who hit a deer trying to get there. But hey, Thursday night at Gabe’s — hard to draw a… Continue reading Chaircrusher Live @ Gabe’s October 11th 2012

KRUI DJ Set 2012-09-22

Haven’t done a radio show since the spring, and had rather a backlog of interesting stuff that has been filtering in. Mr. DE from Detroit Ad– the man from ElectroFunk — Has a new album Sol+Mind which has an eclectic variety of tracks ranging from Prince-esque electro pop (Uh Oh) to R&B (Tonight) to Detroit… Continue reading KRUI DJ Set 2012-09-22

Past Shock – Chaircrusher Live 1996

My friend David Talento was trying to organize his studio and found some cassettes I’d sent him in the 1990s. The real find was what may be the last remaining copy of tracks by Jason Welch, local rave promoter and sometime musician. But I’ll deal with that stuff later. One of the other things is… Continue reading Past Shock – Chaircrusher Live 1996

KRUI DJ Set 2011-10-08

I put out a call for unreleased/promo/advance music to include in this radio show back in September. The response wasn’t overwhelming but I got a few nice tracks from friends and acquaintances, and a rare opportunity to pick and choose among the unreleased music of my friends from Pittsburgh – Shawn Rudiman and Pittsburgh Track… Continue reading KRUI DJ Set 2011-10-08

Chaircrusher Live @ Blue Moose 08-04-2011

I played last night opening for Ex-Action Model, Binary Marketing Show, and Dream Thieves. I’d have to say that this may have been the strongest bill I’ve ever played on. Totally rad. But anyway here’s my set.
